annoyed

Lately, when someone asks if "I'm so excited to be expecting" I kinda want to say "no." Yes, my husband and I have wanted this and I am very happy to be having a baby, but lately, I'm kind of over it. I'm not huge or uncomfortable---just tired of feeling like I have to be a peppy cheerleader every time I see someone. I know these feelings will turn back into excitement, but right now I kinda hate everyone. Not for any reason---people just get on my nerves.

I know! Do you really want to know? Well, I can't for the life of me figure out how to buy maternity pants---my size and the next size down keeps falling down, I am hungry for everything but want nothing, I have to pee right after I walk out of the bathroom, it seems---and I can't get rid of this lovely headache!

We're thrilled to be having a baby, but seriously, it's not the only thing we think/talk about. But it's the only thing people want to talk to us about. Seriously...all I'm doing now is growing a baby. Nothing new to report from the last time you asked me just a day ago.

We were married in June, so we're still enjoying being newlyweds. We're having our first Christmas as a married couple and getting to decorate our first place together. The Razorbacks beat LSU and are now ranked #7 in the BCS standings. Looks like we're going to the Sugar Bowl. We're going to have our first Top 25 season in forever. Yeah, we have lots of things to be excited about as well. Why is it wrong to want to talk about these things as well?

I don't know, we're just going with the flow with this pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, we talk about our baby and we are very VERY excited to welcome our little one, but it's just the waiting game right now. There's only so much we can be doing right now.

i think were bored because it's the slower uneventful part of pregnancy we don't have those amazing kicks and turns and movement going on yet, some don't know what theyre having and it's almost like we arn't pregnant some arn't uncomfortable yet either.

I know how you feel i wish this was a more eventful part of the pregnancy.

I don't know how to shop for the pants either, all the legs are baggy on me and im not gaining weight in my legs so i don't know what to do i just unbutton my jeans and wear my belly band to keep them up.

Lol I hear you, I feel the same way. Especially with the holiday crap and everyone asking a 100 Q's and trying to touch you. I'm already telling people I'm over it and want to get it done and over with so I can go have a stiff drink and to stop trying to touch my stomach, I don't walk up to you and grope you damnit!

I agree with everyone. I also feel like I'm tired of having to watch every little thing I do or eat and can't believe I still have 5 more months of doing this. I'm exhausted with a pounding headache, I just want to have a drink or lay down which ever way I feel like it. My husband wants me to be so careful while he sits next to me and orders a beer, thanks.

I feel so fortunate to have had no trouble getting pregnant (apart from one early miscarriage). And yes, I've been tired and queasy and headachy and would gladly take a glass of red wine. But I've had friends who've tried for years to get pregnant and I'm sure would be incredibly envious of our "problems" right now. So, to hear people complain about other people being polite and asking them how they're doing is, I think, pretty ridiculous. (Ditto for people who are offended when others offer baby hand-me-downs). Pregnancy is a temporary and, most of the time, magical condition.

I hear ya'. I'm grateful and happy and so happy to pregnant, but I get tired of the confused looks when I don't go into great detail when I'm asked, " Sooooo...how are you feeeeeeling?" Ughhhh...when will they stop asking me that?
